Joe Haden returns to action Monday when the Steelers take on the Texans (4:30 p.m. ET, NBC, NFL Network, Amazon Prime), but when he comes back he could be accompanied by a different corner in the secondary.

Artie Burns has started all 14 games for the Steelers this season and 23 times since he was drafted in the first round out of Miami in 2016. But after getting called for another pass interference in Pittsburgh's loss to the Patriots Sunday, head coach Mike Tomlin may be ready to make a change.

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Cameron Sutton, the Steelers' third-round pick out of Tennessee in 2017, got the majority of first-team reps in practice Saturday while Burns ran with the second group.

Burns was part of the secondary, including Haden, that was only allowing 182 per game through nine games this season. However, after Haden was injured Burns saw his crew's production plummet as they allowed 252 yards per game over their next five times out.

The 2016 first-round pick also has been called for 12 defensive penalties this season, which is the tied for the most among corners in the NFL.

Neither Burns nor Sutton knows exactly what his role will be Monday, or if Sutton running with the first team is permanent, but this year's third-round pick said his confidence is growing.

"I feel like I’ve done pretty good," Sutton told the Post-Gazette. "Obviously, you learn each and every week. The biggest thing is keeping me confident, competitive and keep going out there and having fun. Everything else will take care of itself. You can only control what you can control with your preparation throughout the week. When one of those moments in the game happens you have to be ready."

If Sutton does get the start, it will be against the Texans' third-string quarterback T.J. Yates. The North Carolina graduate is completing 45.6 percent of his passes this season in two games for Houston.
